ВЕЛИКАЯ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯ ВОЙНА

Soviet infantry in Great Patriotic War

The complains of the German commanders about the terrible Russian winter are laughable.
What, nobody in whole German empire didn't know the winters in Russia are cold?
The "general Moroz" (Frost) in December became as the surprise?
If the army was unprepared, that means the defect of the army.
From the other side of medal, the Soviet army suffered of the cold winters too.
But they were simple better prepared for the winter conditions.
